edit » - John Santucci, who played mobster and safecracker Pauli Taglia, was, in his real past, a notorious jewel thief. The museum score depicted in the pilot episode was based on a real heist in which Santucci participated. In his previous career Santucci had been arrested by both Adamson and Farina. edit »
- Before becoming an actor, Dennis Farina was a member of the Chicago police department, as was series creator Chuck Adamson. The two were partners in Chicago's Central Investigative Unit, the real-life counterpart to the "Major Crimes Unit" in the series. In 2004, Farina joined the cast of Law & Order; his character transferred to the NYPD from Chicago. edit »
